Is he really, though? His majority is very thin, and it is a bit logical to have to work with Democrats on ONE important stuff like the budget. But I am out of loop with the rest of the stuff except for Tik Tok banning, which is nothing really worth talking about.
Obviously, he is not used to seeing women with this level of qualifications around him.
No, thats just what he says he is trying to do, what he is actually doing, is stalling everything down on purpose, he doesn't want to pass anything but CRs.
Dems, in my opinon, made a big mistake backing Gaetz little vendetta, leaving them stuck with a speaker who is 100% captured by Trump, Ukraine is paying the price, and will continue to do so.
Reminds me of this....Nah, they did the right thing. Kevin had every opportunity to negotiate with the Dems to secure their support (or likely indifference via "present" votes) in in stopping it, but he refused to do so. If he refused to negotiate when even his lifelong dream was in jeopardy he would never do so, for anything.

So, essentially republicans got so butthurt over state of the union, they want future ones cancelled, if Biden wins.
What a bunch of snowflakes.

im telling you: I’m shocked…. SHOCKED!
Just watching snippets of this farce Biden impeachment hearing. I mean the GOP should just want to stop the bleeding here it is utterly embarrassing. They have absolutely NOTHING and it's just giving the Dems on the committee highlight reel stuff calling out the nonsense. When Rep Lynch was calling them out for having the audacity to Zoom call in as a star witness a convicted felon who was in prison for robbing pensions you cant get any more desperate and they are just showing it.
parody irrelevant etc
What a waste of public resources.
On the "things I didn't believe about life in the US the first time I heard of them" list, schools rounding up or even arresting kids for skipping school is prominently featured. Also on the list are jaywalking, wearing shoes inside homes, checks still being a thing and schools being locked down during school hours. I realize some of these things are common outside of the US too, it's just my naive Norwegian brain thinking I understand the US and then realizing I don't.
Apple lawsuit: US accuses tech giant of monopolising smartphone market
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68628989
Is this anything other than posturing? All I can is that Huawei were becoming a pretty big competitor in the smartphone market right up until the point their entire organisation were sanctioned. "Competition" at that point was pretty much scuppered by these same folk, surely?

My employer pays me through direct deposit into my bank account. My landlord only accepts physical cheques for rent.
My landlord is my employer.
He's giving you time for the check to clear to allow you to make sure there's money in your account
You won't find many cheque books in the UK anymore. Most business won't accept them, and I think it's only business accounts that can get issued a cheque book as most banks don't offer them to personal account holders anymore. I'd say all banks but my mate has an account with Coutts and he still has a personal cheque book. I can't honestly remember the last time I saw a cheque to be honest.
Mind you, last week over two days of relatively busy trading when I was on shift, one day only ONE person paid in cash, and the other day about 5 paid in cash. It's normally roughly about 75/80% card to 25/20% cash now.

Here we go again.
I want my MTV.

Not sure if this is politics, but if it isn't it should be. This doesn't even account for the last 5 years.

Employer Landlord: Rent this month is late as your Cheque Bounced
You: you didn't pay me on time
Employer Landlord: Not my problem, that'll be $150 late fee.

They now have a majority of only one.
One more retirement, and all hell breaks loose, well, until they fill McCarthy's old seat, at least.
What's the story here? Is he the maga type or an old school republican?
Vacant, until November, if this is true, good stuff.
Old school. And one of their more promising prospects for the future given his age.
Another sign that Trumpism is in full control of the GOP.
What happens if another GOP rep leaves and both parties have the same number of representatives? In senate, in such cases, the majority leader is from the same party that controls the presidency (essentially the VP breaks the deadlock), but I have no idea what happens in the House.
They just never know when to stop.
Clearly old school. He is only 40 years old and was seen as the future of the GOP.
Trump may die or be removed from any form of relevance because of lawsuits, but it looks like the MAGA stench is there to stay with the GOP for a long time when people like Kinzinger and Gallagher are fed up.
You wonder if the whole movement unravels without Trump though. Remember the tea party, what happened to them?
So, dems caved on Israel, and got nothing for Ukraine? Shame on them.
